Simplicity Rules

It is interesting to look at simplicity from the developer side of the equation for a change. Martin Fowler has kicked over a hornet’s nest with his thoughts on the humane interface . This has a lot of verysmart , and very pragmatic developers talking about simplicity in objects, methods and behaviours.

Good software thinks of the users first and makes life easy for them. Humane interfaces follow that principle.

This is why frameworks like Ruby on Rails , Django , and TurboGears work so well. They do a lot of the work so that I don’t have to. This is a great discussion that will only benefit developers on other platforms as this meme gets incorporated.
